That can't be d reason she killed him,its impossible for a man to have sex six times per day unless he wants to faint and beside he's a muslim nd probably fasting which proves that d story is made up. and even if its six tym per day its impossible for d girl to kill her husband because of sex.
Jokes Etc / Beans Fart by raheemat21: 10:31pm On Jul 30, 2013
When I got married, I made the supreme sacrifice and gave up beans. Some months later, on my birthday, my car broke down on the way home from work. Since I lived in the countryside I called my wife and told her that I would be late because I had to walk home.

On my way, I passed by a small diner and the odour of baked beans was more than I could stand. With miles to walk, I figured that I would walk off any ill effects by the time I reached home, so I stopped at the diner and before I knew it, I had consumed three large orders of baked beans.

All the way home, I made sure that I released all the gas. Upon my arrival, my wife seemed excited to see! me and exclaimed delightedly "Darling I have a surprise for dinner tonight." She then blindfolded me and led me to my chair at the dinner table. I took a seat and just as she was about to remove my blindfold, the telephone rang. She made me promise not to touch the blindfold until she returned and went to answer the call.

The baked beans I had consumed were still affecting me and the pressure was becoming most unbearable, so while my wife was out of the room I seized the opportunity, shifted my weight to one leg and let one go. It was not only loud, but it smelled like a fertilizer truck running over a skunk in front of a pulpwood mill. I took my napkin from my lap and fanned the air around mevigorously. Then, shifting to the other cheek, I ripped off three more. The stink was worse than cooked cabbage. Keeping my ears carefully tuned to the conversation in the other room, I went on like this for another few minutes. The pleasure was indescribable.

When eventually the telephone farewells signalled the end of my freedom, I quickly fanned the air a few more times with my napkin, placed it on my lap and folded my hands back on it feeling very relieved and pleased with myself. My face must have been the picture of innocence when my wife returned, apologizing for taking so long. She asked me if I had peeked through the blindfold, and I assured her I had not.

At this point, she removed the blindfold, and twelve dinner guests seated around the table chorused: "Happy Birthday!!!" I fainted!
Culture / Ancient Birth Control Methods by raheemat21: 9:49am On Jul 30, 2013
Crocodile Dung
Ancient Egyptian documents dating back to1850 B.C. describe how pessaries --objects or concoctions inserted into the vagina to block sperm-- made of crocodile dung, honey, and sodium carbonate were common contraceptive methods. Crocodile dung is actually slightly alkaline, like modern-day spermicides, so it might have worked.

Weasel's Testicles
Medieval cultures had some creative ways to stave off babies, like tying a weasel's testicles around their inner thighs. According to the myth, if one takes the two testicles of a weasel and wraps them up, binding them to the thigh of a woman whoalso wears a weasel bone, she will no longer be able to conceive. Obviously, the method is nonsense.

Mercury
More dangerous contraceptive practices included the drinking of lead and mercury by Chinese women thousands of years ago.This deadly potion was used by concubinesin ancient China in order to remain sterile. These substances are known to cause things like kidney failure, brain damage and, of course, death.

Brewed Tea With Beaver Testicles
This practice dates back to the 16th century in Canada, when women sought to preventconception by soaking dried beaver testicles in a concentrated solution of alcohol and then deeply drinking the resulting infuse. There is no record of its effectiveness.

Animal Intestines
One of the oldest known condoms is made from a pig's intestine. There's even a user manual that suggests soaking it in warm milk before use to make it softer and more supple.
Some historians claim that the first illustration of a man wearing a condom during sexual intercourse was King Minos of Crete, son of Zeus and Europa, who lived around 3000 B.C.E. According to the legend, a curse caused Minos' semen to contain serpents and scorpions. To protect his sexual partner from these animals, Minos used a goat's bladder as a condom. Another illustration from Ancient Egypt, about 3000 years old, seems to show a man wearing what looks like a sheath around his penis.
The oldest condoms ever found date back to 1642 and were animal-tissue sheaths, like sausage casings, found at Dudley Castle in England.( Link)

Blacksmith Water
According to Soranus, a Greek gynecologistpracticing during the 2nd century A.D., women were told to drink the water that blacksmiths used to cool metal as a birth control method.
Despite the fact that it's not really understood why someone believed this, women were volunteering to work in factories with lead just so it would keep them sterile, even during the First World War. The practice could lead to neurological problems, kidney failure, seizures, coma, and even death.( Link)
Opium Diaphragm
Ancient Sumatran women used the pod of this plant like a diaphragm during intercourse.

An Acacia, Date, and Honey Tampon
One of the first-ever written prescriptions for a contraceptive device is a 1550 B.C. papyrus sheet from Egypt, which describes a tampon made of seed wool moistened with ground acacia, dates, and honey.
Despite its primitive nature, the tampon worked because acacia ferments into lactic acid, an ingredient used in today's spermicides.

Cola and Other Carbonated Drinks
Coca-Cola douches had become a part of contraceptive tradition during the 1950s and 1960s, when other birth control methods were hard to come by. The idea that Coca Cola can be used as a spermicide was the big sensation of the Ig Nobel awards ceremony held at Harvard in October 2008. The experiment was conducted at Harvard Medical School's birth control laboratory. Scientists Anderson, Hill, and Umpierre mixed four different types of Coke with sperm to see whether the idea of the drink's contraceptive qualities is true. During the laboratory experiments, scientists discovered that Diet Coke killed all sperm within one minute, but 41% were still swimming in the recently introduced New Coke. Anderson told New Scientist magazine, “It was believed that the carbonic acid in Coke killed sperm – and the method came with its own 'shake and shoot' applicator.” However, other researchers were unable to verify these results in later experiments.

Lemon Diaphragm
An oddity worth mentioning is that lemons were used in the 1700's as a reasonably effective birth control metod. The shape would act as a diaphragm and the acid in the citrus would kill the sperm. However, lemon juice can damage vaginal tissue, so lemons are probably not a clever choice.

TV/Movies / The Movie Bokoharam Goes To Nollywood by raheemat21: 8:15am On Jul 08, 2013
THE MOVIE boko haram goes to nollywood
It’s a tried and tested formula for smash-hit
Hollywood cinema: terrorists plotting mass
destruction only to be foiled by a mixture of fate
and law enforcement – with a good love story
thrown in to boot.
Now Nollywood, Nigeria’s burgeoning film
industry has got in on the action, making the
country’s Islamic extremist sect the subject of a
new release, Boko Haram – the movie.
The film follows the story of a young man who
comes to Lagos with a secret mission to detonate
a bomb that will kill 2,500 people. But in an
unlikely twist he meets a prostitute who prompts
a rethink.
“It’s a film about a terrorist who finds love and
has to challenge everything he has been taught,”
said Pascal Amanfo, who wrote and directed the
film.
“We wanted to delve into the core of this issue,
challenging people’s ideals and beliefs.
“I think we are pushing the limits of Nigerian
films,” Amanfo added. “But ultimately we
focused on a love story and trying to provoke
some kind of sentiment in your average Nigerian
viewer.”
The film, released earlier this year in Nigeria and
soon to be released in Ghana, is not without
controversy.
Amanfo said he had to change the name from
Boko Haram to Nation Under Siege for the film’s
domestic release, due to Nigerians’ heightened
sensitivity on the topic.
“There has been so much controversy
surrounding this movie,” said Amanfo.
“My marketer in America backed down on
marketing it – he said the very sight of the poster
provokes too much strong feeling. I could not get
cinema showings in Nigeria because of the
reaction, and we had to be careful to avoid a
backlash from the government.
“The Nigerian market would not accept the title
Boko Haram, people said it would cause a war, so
we tried to soften it a little.”
In Ghana, where the film is still titled Boko
Haram, critics said the poster – depicting the fair-
skinned Ghanaian actor Majid Michel wearing a
turban and holding an AK47 – pandered to
stereotypes about terrorism in the region.
“The poster looks like a guy in Arab garb with a
gun. What does that have to do with Boko
Haram?” said Kobina Graham, a lecturer and
cultural critic in Ghana.
“My understanding is that Boko Haram doesn’t
have anything to do with Arab guys with guns.
This says a lot more about our stereotypes than
anything else.”
There is rising demand for local movies across
West Africa, where the growing middle classes
buy genuine and bootleg DVDs of films such as
War in the Palace, God Love Prostitutes and
Fazebook Babes.
By some estimates Nollywood is the second
biggest film industry in the world, releasing as
many as 2,000 films a year and continuing to
expand.
Last month the first NollywoodWeek Paris”
festival took place in the French capital a week
after Cannes, to increase Francophone
distribution opportunities.
Industry insiders say there is a growing trend for
films that take on controversial topics in the
news rather than traditional subjects like love,
black magic and family feuds.
Last year’s Last Flight to Abuja touched on the
subject of air crashes, a delicate subject in Nigeria
where shortly after the film’s release a passenger
plane crashed into a building in Lagos, killing 153
people.
The murder of four students at the University of
Port Harcourt last year, killed by a mob after they
were accused of stealing, was quickly turned into
a Nollywood movie.
“It is definitely a case of art imitating life,” said
Zara Johns, “Nollywood evangelist” at Iroko TV,
an on-demand film streaming service for
Nollywood movies.
“These things tend to resonate with Nigerians
because they are really happening,” she said.
“This film about Boko Haram has attracted a lot
of feedback. The overwhelming response has
been positive but some people felt it is just too
sensitive a topic to talk about.”
